Delftia deserti is a Gram-negative, short rod-shaped, motile bacterium from the genus Delftia, which has been isolated from desert soil in Turpan in China.[1][2][3][4][5] D. deserti is of the Betaproteobacteria lineage within the Comamonadaceae family.[5]
Biology and biochemistry
D. deserti cells are short rods and motile by means of one or two polar flagella. Cells are 1.06 ± 0.43 μm long and 0.75 ± 0.12 μm wide.[5]
This bacterium has been cultured on TSA. It grows at temperatures 20-45 °C, optimally at 30 °C. Growth occurs at pH 6-9 (optimally at pH 7), and in 0–3.0% NaCl. D. deserti is fermentative, and positive for DNase activity and nitrate reduction. It can hydrolyse starch, cellulose, casein, extracellular peptidoglycan, chitin, urea, esculin, and gelatin. D. deserti is an obligate aerobe.[5]
No infections caused by D. deserti have been reported.[6][7]
